Congratulations, Bob.

That is indeed an honor, and obviously you are as good as your posts here, except when we disagree .

Have fun and enjoy the day, like we hope Tee did.

Had a great time doing the Oregon 6A Championship game.

It is always interesting when you have a three umpire crew that have never worked together prior to the "big" game. But U3 and the PU were just great guys.

We had little to do since there were few base runners (i.e. we were never in a situation that required a reverse rotation).

By the way: I got a 9.75 from umpires watching the game for my famous "reverse spin, double Sulkow".

Tim -

You probably got your score dragged down by the East German judge.

Only a 9.75, must have been the Russian judge ... (g)

Looked like a good game from the fans perspective.

Thanks

I'd blame the Frog.

Ehh! 8.25! Here in the East, we like a bit more crispness with these moves! Work on your balance point a bit more.

Nice Job, Tim!

Always an honor, congrats Bob you deserve it I'm sure.

Should be lots of fun, hopefully have a good game to umpire.

Pretty neat that they are streaming the games. MS is still behind the times, but we did start getting the games on live public TV this year for the first time.

Thanks
David
